Unclefish, don’t get me wrong – I have the highest regard for the redfish – they have become very popular since banning commercial fishing and protected by the efforts of the GCCC.
In the 50’s they were mostly caught on trot-lines along the causeway between Aransas Pass and P.A. – baited with strips of red cloth – I’m older, but not wiser than the rest of you guys... :p
I have fished for them from Chandeleur Sound in Louisiana, accessable by float plane, and every bay and estuary between there and Port Isabel at South Padre.
My money’s on the stripers and HSB for sport and endurance - depending upon the time of year...
